Thank you everyone - so far, so good for day one. Very Very Very irritable! at times I feel like I am floating through the day and everything is surreal, then BAM! a damn craving and Jolly Rangers (hopefully) to the rescue. This really sucks, why did I ever start! What an F'ing idiot I am!

ONCE AGAIN EVERYONE THANK YOU !! I will see you all at roll call tomorrow!
We started about the same time. We are doing this can you believe it! Good job. We can and will do this together Shazam!

Hey shazam, good to here you made the leap of faith, stick with it.

i have been avioding my triggers or being prepared when they come put in some fake when i know i got a softball game. little craves i come to the site and that seems to make my craves or pains go away becasue i know others are going through the same, and they are fighting through, and that means so can WE.

Stay Quit!

The old standby is sunflower seeds. I prefer dill pickle flavor. I'm also finding good black licorice to be helpful.

Really though, nothing helped the first two or three days for me. By the end of the third day, I was getting some breaks in the haze, though. And yeah, the craves are still there, but getting exponentially easier to deal with. I'm into my second week of quit...

Welcome shazam! 

Read absolutely everything you can on this site.  All the links, stories, HOF speeches.  Pick out an old quit group and read from page 1.  It will give you some incite on what you will be going through and give you a chance to know some of the people on the boards.....pretty damn entertaining too.

Most of all, post roll each and everyday in your quit group, bitch, moan, cry, whine, and complain.  Post up your success stories too  :) !  The point is, get involved.  Get to know your quit brothers, the more people you know the more accountable you will be.

Above all, shout out if you need something, there is more help here than you can imagine.
Shazam (i love it)!

I can't say too much more, except just echo what has been said here.

Get to know us.

Lean on some of the vets.

Align with some of the newbs like me in your July group.

When you're feelin' jumpy, head into the chat room for some support or to listen to some crazy talk.

I wasn't sure it was clear. Are you using Nic gum?

Welcome Shazam. Can't add too much that old Red hasn't covered. Listen to him. He has given the advice that will help you win this war.

Hi All,
DAY 1 - I have had a day one before and even a day two (I think), but never have I had the support of a group like this one. With any luck (or just damn determination) and lots of help from this group, I can make it to day 100 and even day 1000!
Now, besides the fake chew and gum, anyone have any ideas on distraction from this mind numbing, hating life, pissy f@#$, god awful feeling?

Nice to meet everyone and hope to share in the 100 day celebration!

Hey bro, welcome!! in answer to your question... altoids and jolly ranchers help me. also the jaw breakers that are hot help me out too. you know, the ones that feel like your head is on fire when you pop em in ur grill? yea, those.

Also, try to score some new activities/hobbies. I've been going to the gym a lot. And, I have been playing racquetball w/my old man. Don't know if you have ever played r-ball before but it's a damn good cardio workout!! Anything to get your mind off the dip.

If all else fails you could always 'jerk' ... i've heard it takes the stress away. Stay close to this site dude!! You got this thing, you can do it!!

It's only day 7 for me, but I can attest that after the first 3 days the craving really does die down. Not saying it's easy, but you'll feel the difference in the craving and it becomes easier to deal with. I ate like a pig for several days...and I'm still eating heavy, but even that's subsided a little bit. Keep your mind occupied...that's the best I can offer. I read through a bunch of the different groups on this site....it helped pass the time and you find out there's a lot of people just like you and that helps.
